Atlanta Braves pitcher Spencer Strider’s reaction to an injury last April speaks volumes about his mindset. The moment he realized he had likely torn his UCL again, his first thought wasn’t disappointment, it was, “This is great.” Rather than dwelling on what he had lost, Strider immediately focused on the opportunity ahead. Years of work with sport psychologist AMPLOS’ Dr. Cory Shaffer has helped train Strider to approach challenges with acceptance, fearlessness, and purpose. He embraced the rehab process with patience and determination, knowing it was another step in his journey. Now, nearly a year later, he’s poised to return to the mound stronger, both physically and mentally, for having faced the setback head-on. This perspective, rooted in high-performance psychology, reinforces the power of resilience and a process-oriented approach to overcome setbacks – principles that extend beyond sports into all aspects of life.
